Questiondr.joan,
I had my last monthly periods on 12th Dec 08 (starting). And the next month I had waited for until 20 Jan and on 21 Jan , I did the pregnancy test. The result came positive. I have taken 200mg Mefipristone on 24th Jan(evng) and 25th Evening bleeding started(like normal periods) and after 38hrs had 200mcg misoprost(2tabs). After having the second tabs, i felt severe pain and heavy bleeding. On 29th Jan, I have noticed some clotted blood came out like quite big quantity. And the bleeding continued for nearly one week - until 01 Feb. And on 2nd Feb, I did the pregnancy test and the result came positive.
Now I am confused.... Later I have noticed in some sites says that to wait nearly 3 days after the bleeding stops...
Now please instruct me how many days I have to wait?
1. If I want to go for urine test,
2. If I need to check through blood test
3. If I need to test through Ultra sound...
Thanking you for your immediate reply.
AnswerHi dear Anna,
pregtests stay positive until 3 weeks after the abortion.
So blood, nor urinetest help.
Ultrasound in this stage does not show much valuable.
The only thing you can do is wait and be patient.
Everything seems to be normal.
no worry !
